RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
qlcnic driver is showing as UNSIGNED driver on RHEL 6 & RHEL 6.1
kernel version: 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64
it reproduces every time
steps to reproduce:
1.Unatar the src of Driver hp-qlcnic-src-5.0.22.tgz (use Dell & QLOGIC pkg for respective v5.0.22)
2. Under the src pkg of rhel6 or rhel6.1
3. execute the below command
make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$(pwd) modules CONFIG_QLCNIC=m
make: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64'

Observe that in second last line qlcnic.ko is showing as unsigned.
Observation:- Same issue seen on RHEL 6 also.
Additional info:
driver is getting loaded but on compilation it is showing unsigned
That's because Red Hat only signs drivers built by Red Hat. The code is doing exactly what it should be doing and indicating that you are loading a non-Red Hat driver.

hi pratit,
So is there any way to load external driver ?
thanx

I mean this similar problem has also seen with rhel5.7
kernel version - 2.6.18-274 on x86_64
where driver is not loading due to unsigned module.
so can we have a proper way to insert a external module in the kernel?
thanx
